The world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen [2.51 metres] has found a bride! The Turkish groom married a Syrian woman, Mervi Dibo in the south eastern province of Mardin on Sunday in a lavished wedding.
Although the 31 year old man appears a giant to his 20 year old bride [1.75 metres] , Kosen says, “I cannot describe my feelings in words. I have found the love of my life.” He was also quoted as saying, “I am the happiest man in the world” during the wedding celebration, according to the state-run Anatolia news agency. Kosen’s bride Mervi Dibo, who hails from the Syrian town of Hasaka, added: “I hope this happiness will be long-lasting.”
According to Anatolia, the groom’s black suit was custom made, requiring six metres of fabric.
Born into a farming family in southeastern Turkey, Kosen won global fame in September 2009 when Guinness World Records declared him the tallest man in the world. He was then 2.47 meters tall. His growth was resulted from a tumor affecting his pituitary gland.
Reports say US doctors treated Kosen‘s tumor in August 2010 in the state of Virgina with a precisely targeted shot of extremely high frequency gamma rays, using a non-invasive radiosurgical device known as a Gamma Knife.
Last year, doctors said Kosen has overcome acromegaly, a rare hormonal disorder that caused him to keep growing well into adulthood.
Kosen is forced to use crutches in order to walk. But we say congratulations!!
